NEW IN: Bia! Zine Issue 003

Bia! – meaning ’food’ in Irish and ‘come’ in Igbo – is a community storytelling project. Through the words and images of immigrant and diasporic communities in Ireland, Bia! seeks to document our commonality, counterbalance mainstream food narratives, and celebrate how immigrants and diasporas assert their presence in Ireland through food.

Bia! Zine Issue 03 brings together stories and art from nearly 60 contributors connected to Ireland from across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and mixed-heritage communities to explore their diasporic identity through food.

This issue traces how identity is formed in the kitchen through memory, unravels in movement, and is repaired through care and resistance, ultimately inviting readers to consider food not only as personal, but also as relational, fluid and a site for radical cultural possibility.

BACK IN STOCK: Dreamland Issue 01

At a time when social feeds flatten nuance and clubbing can be reduced to quick-hit spectacle, Dreamland Issue 01pulls the lens back to basics: intimacy, connection, belonging. Dreamland believes that the intimate club setting is irreplaceable and Issue 01 sets out to highlight, celebrate and preserve that space. The aim is to inspire a wider dialogue around the importance of small clubs and highlight the intimate connection of clubbing as a human experience. It’s an honest snapshot of some of the dance floors that are foundations to the scene, from the voices of the people who are actually behind it.

Dreamland issue 01 is a limited edition Risograph print zine edited by Peach, designed by Ellyson Gasparetto and printed by Pagemasters.

The 72-page zine is made up of three parts - Part One collects reflections from the Dreamland community with poems and essays from London to Bogotá.  Part Two is a series of interviews with some of the best intimate clubs in the UK + Europe.  Part Three compiles contributions from friends of Peach - DJs, artists, promoters and writers - such as Call Super (Joseph Richmond Seaton), Parris (Dwayne Parris Robinson), Jay Duncan, Johanna Schneider, Ilyas Nofi, Joe Delon, Rebecca, Josh Bayat, Gray Rimmer and Kyle Rogers.
